Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan with butter or a neutral oil and dust with almond flour.

- Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a thick but spreadable batter forms.
- In a small bowl, mix cinnamon with optional nuts or chocolate chips. Layer batter and cinnamon mix in the bundt pan, finishing with batter on top.
